Description

Still-Lustrous 1858-D Five, AU53
Scarcer D-Mint Issue

1858-D $5 AU53 NGC. Variety 35-CC. The 1858-D is seldom seen in any grade and is especially elusive in Almost Uncirculated. Only 125-150 pieces are estimated known in all grades, and of that number only 30-36 examples are believed extant in AU. This piece has little wear and noticeable traces of bright mint luster around the margins and devices. The centers are slightly soft, as almost always seen, and each side is peppered with numerous small, but individually insignificant abrasions.
